This only seems to happen with SQLite, MySQL works as expected.
FYI, this is the SQL which is generated for SQLite:
{{{
SELECT "auth_user"."id", "auth_user"."password", "auth_user"."last_login",
"auth_user"."is_superuser", "auth_user"."username",
"auth_user"."first_name", "auth_user"."last_name", "auth_user"."email",
"auth_user"."is_staff", "auth_user"."is_active",
"auth_user"."date_joined", CAST(2017-10-20 AS date) AS "today" FROM
"auth_user"
}}}

Comment (by direx):
OK, I have updated the original text in the ticket to include the full
stracktrace.
Replying to [comment:1 Simon Charette]:
> Also, I think you'd want to use
`annotate(today=Value(datetime.date.today()))` instead.
Actually I am doing something entirely different (I need `Coalesce()` and
`Max()`) and ran into this issue right there. The above code is just a
minimum demonstration on how the bug can be triggered. I know that the
code doesn't actually make sense, but I did not want to make the generated
query more complex than it has to be for the example.
